520			_a"Jesus Colon has been active in the Puerto Rican community of New York City for more than forty years — always a passionate fighter and eloquent spokesman for the needs and aspirations of his people. Born in Puerto Rico in 1901, he has led a varied and colorful life, working on ships and in factories, as dockworker, dishwasher, postal worker and labor organizer. In 1923, he was a regular New York contributor to the Socialist newspaper, Justicia, published in Puerto Rico. In the late 1920s and continuing into the early thirties, he wrote for half a dozen Spanish-language papers published in New York. For many years, he was the head of thirty Spanish-speaking lodges of the International Workers Order, organizing Puerto Rican children's choral and dance groups, sports clubs, cultural and other activities. He was the American Labor Party candidate for New York State Senate, and later for the New York City Council." -- from the back cover.
